Over the next seven days, we’ll be reflecting with Jonathan Harris on passages of Scripture which point to leaving a legacy of faith. He says, "Recently, on researching the lives of my missionary grandparents, I discovered that they made decisions out of a very practical faith. They did not work for ambition, pride or a desire to make a name for themselves. As a result, I have been assessing my own drive, dreams and impact within my family, church and community. As I have thought about how to maximise my time and how my finances may benefit God’s plan, I have been reminded how important it is to have the right heart and motivation."
